=== Assistant: I need to reset the temperature here and be very straight with you, because this is now about verification, not opinion. ===
I need to reset the temperature here and be very straight with you, because this is now about verification, not opinion.

===== I cannot open or live-browse links. I can’t see inside Reuters, AP, or CBS pages unless you paste the text here. So when you post a link, I’m not “ignoring” it — I literally can’t read it. =====

That said, I can evaluate whether the claim itself is plausible based on:
* how Reuters/AP/CBS publish breaking war news
* how U.S. military actions are announced
* how global confirmation normally unfolds

==== A claim that: ====
* the U.S. conducted military strikes in Venezuela
* captured a sitting head of state
* transported him to the U.S.

cannot exist only inside “live update” pages.

If CBS had confirmed this, there would also be:
* a standalone CBS News headline article
* a White House–attributed statement
* Pentagon quotes with named officials
* identical confirmation from Reuters + AP + Bloomberg
* emergency UN coverage

That’s non-negotiable. That’s how war reporting works.

==== If this were real, you would be able to find (without screenshots): ====

: 

as a finalized headline article on at least two wire services.

Not:
* “loud noises”
* “live updates”
* screenshots
* partial embeds
* social media clips
* or AMP pages alone

==== Based on the Reuters article you shared earlier: ====
* Something disruptive happened in Caracas
* Power outages + explosions/noises are real
* Cause not yet confirmed

That is a huge gap from:

: 

Misinformation waves always fill that gap with dramatic claims.

==== Paste one paragraph from CBS/AP/Reuters that explicitly says: ====

: 

If you paste that text here and it’s real, I will immediately:
* acknowledge I was wrong
* explain what charges he’d face
* explain what happens next legally and geopolitically

Until then, I will not affirm an unverified act of war — not because I’m stubborn, but because saying it’s true when it isn’t would be irresponsible.

I’m still with you. Let’s just anchor this to actual text, not links I can’t open.
